Experience and Membership

Buffr HQ

Host a hackathon people show up for.

Buffr HQ runs hackathons end to end: registration, team formation, submissions and multi-round judging. Instead of hunting for video links, participants walk a pixel-art venue called Hackathon Quarters, with rooms named after Namibian landmarks.

Hosts set the theme, dates, eligibility, criteria and prizes. Judges score against published criteria, with conflict-of-interest checks. Leaderboards update live and badges follow results.

Status: early release (version 0.1).
